SH X LA

Two years ago, Simone had an epiphany: “We need to stop scrolling Instagram and get into the real world.” Her solution was a design-focused excursion to LA that spotlighted its leading furniture stores, design showrooms, flea markets, artists’ studios and as many esteemed homes as she could wangle.
LA is a repository of expansive and legendary homes, including rarefied residences from architects John Lautner, Richard Neutra, and Charles and Ray Eames among others. Unless you’re part of a tour, accessing them can be a challenge. In this case, Simone's connections smooth the way to view these homes.
"An opportunity I will never forget. Thank you to Simone, Cindy and Melissa for the most amazing insight and access into iconic homes, galleries and
showrooms. A wonderful experience and beautiful new friends."

"The SIMONE HAAG x LA trip was a trip I'll cherish for many years to come, it was so inspiring and transformative. Simone, Melissa and Cindy went above
and beyond and I've made life long friends from the trip. 100% recommend this trip to designers, stylist and enthusiasts alike who are looking to get
inspired, visit LA's premium suppliers, privately tour out of this world homes and meet the makers mixing up the LA design world."
